Recall Alert: Castalon Frying Pans Pose a Burn Hazard

When we evaluate cookware here at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, we perform certain tests multiple times on individual pieces of cookware both to ensure consistent results and to try and identify problems that may develop over time. The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall yesterday for Castalon frying pans from Tabletops Unlimited due to a burn hazard.

The enamel coating on these cast-iron pans can crackle and flake off, potentially burning the user in the process. One such injury has been reported already and the recall is expected to cover about 1500 pieces of cookware.

The frypans were sold nationwide at Wegmans and Bed, Bath & Beyond between May and September of this year. If you think you may have purchased one of the recalled pans, stop using it immediately and check the model number against the list of recalled products on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website.
